If you can monitor other frequencies, chances are the south australian police are in radio silence, in other words they are not transmitting as of this time, no need to worry, your scanner is ok, just keep on scanning. Happy Monitoring ;-)

Your police department may have changed frequencies or upgraded to a digital and/or trunking radio system. For an extensive database of active frequencies and systems in your area, visitwww.RadioReference.comor www.CityFreq.com

Programming the 248 is fairly simple once you know the steps.- Turn the scanner ON- Press the MANUAL key to stop scanning- Enter the channel number that you wish to program (01, 02, etc.)- Press MANUAL- Enter your frequency, including the decimal point (e.g. 156.055)- Press E to confirm- Press MANUAL to advance to the next channel
